Pulse of the Practice



??? Measuring the Pulse of Your Dental Practice

In this episode of Dental Drill Bits, Dana and Sandy dive deep into the importance of measuring team energy and performance metrics in dental practices. They remind listeners that while patient care is always the top priority, tracking statistics can actually enhance care quality and boost team morale.

The conversation explores what true buy-in looks like from your team, how accountability drives culture, and why metrics should be viewed as tools for growth rather than judgment. You’ll walk away with practical steps to create a positive, performance-driven environment where every team member feels connected to the practice’s success.


Key Takeaways

• Your team’s energy is crucial for productivity
• Statistics can enhance patient care, not detract from it
• Tracking metrics helps connect efforts to results
• Buy-in from the team is essential for success
• Purpose should always come before profit
• Celebrating small wins boosts team morale
